Begin Again

[Verse 1]
I’ve measured every doorway twice
Rehearsed the laugh, rehearsed the lights
A hundred lives in numbered rows
While one small moment waits and grows

[Pre-Chorus]
The seats are full, the house is still
I’m tuning plans against my will

[Chorus]
Begin, begin—the room is listening
Begin, begin—the seconds glisten
I saved a thousand ways to start
But none can take the place of heart
Begin, begin, don’t wait for when
The life you’re ready for begins again

[Verse 2]
I wrote the speech for every role
Then kept the pages, kept control
The curtain lifts; I check the cue
The only missing part is you

[Pre-Chorus]
The seats are full, the house is still
I’m done rehearsing what I will

[Chorus]
Begin, begin—the room is listening
Begin, begin—the seconds glisten
I saved a thousand ways to start
But none can take the place of heart
Begin, begin, don’t wait for when
The life you’re ready for begins again

[Bridge]
No perfect cue, no safer scene
No final draft of who I’ve been
One breath, one step, the boards beneath
The waiting room gives way to me

[Final Chorus]
Begin, begin—the room is listening
Begin, begin—the whole world’s leaning
I saved a thousand ways to start
Now every step can play its part
Begin, begin, right here, right then
The life you’re living starts again

[Outro]
Begin again
Begin again
